Summary Although much is known about the geomorphology of barrier islands and how barrier islands respond to storm events, no research has considered the implications of dense development on storm damage patterns. This research examines how anthropogenic attributes of a barrier island related to the infrastructural damage patterns incurred from Superstorm Sandy. Specifically, infrastructural damage was unrelated to development density and road orientation but closely related to depth of storm surge and conditions of the beach.
